When I take a phone call for inspection services, the first question people usually have is "How much do you charge?" Good question. The only problem is that "One size fits all" doesn't work with socks or underwear and it shouldn't be expected to work with inspection services. I'm not sure what services you require, whether the home is 2000 square feet or 20,000 square feet, in the same town or 100 miles away, nor how many visits I'll have to make to the home to complete the services.

My home inspections usually take 3+ hours in all but the "really well kept homes." The time is spent taking notes, photos, explaining the homes systems and components, and answering questions. The general home inspection report takes an additional 3 hours to write once I return to the office. My report does not take the "easy road" and defer every item to a "specialist" nor does it nit-pick inconsequential or irrelevant items to make it look like I'm earning my fee. It contains full mechanical and structural evaluation as well as information such as design life (expected longevity) of systems and components as well as estimated ages of these components so that you can budget for these items when they will likely need replacement. My report will discuss general maintenance items and preventive maintenance procedures as well as explain how you can do many of these minor repairs yourself. My report also includes safety upgrades that are recommended with the safety of your family and others in mind.

Because of the variables from home to home as well as the various services you may need (or may not need), "One size fits all" pricing does not work well. Please call for pricing information. 610 417 1006
